Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released May 2025131K context≈ 98,304 words

A compact coding-focused model quantized to 4-bit precision for efficient local deployment via the MLX framework. It handles software engineering tasks — reading codebases, writing functions, debugging — within a generous 131k token context window that lets it reason over large files or multi-file projects. The trade-off is typical of aggressive quantization: some precision loss compared to full-weight variants, but significantly reduced memory footprint.

Glossary

4-bit PrecisionA quantization level where model weights are stored using only 4 bits per value, significantly reducing model size at the cost of some accuracy.Bit PrecisionThe number of bits used to represent each number in a model; lower bit precision (like 3-bit) means smaller file size but potentially less accurate calculations.Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Local DeploymentRunning a model directly on your own computer or server instead of sending requests to a remote service.MLXA machine learning framework optimized for running models efficiently on Apple Silicon chips.MLX FrameworkA machine learning framework specifically designed for running AI models efficiently on Apple Silicon hardware.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.Precision LossThe reduction in numerical accuracy that occurs when a model is compressed, which can slightly degrade performance on complex reasoning tasks while remaining acceptable for most everyday uses.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.QuantizedA technique that reduces a model's size and memory usage by storing weights with lower precision (fewer bits), trading some accuracy for efficiency.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.
